Historical Tours

Our historic tours whether it is a half-day tour or a 14-day tour are informative and enjoyable, taking in the very best that Ireland and Dublin have to offer.

Boyne Valley Tour

The Boyne Valley tour takes in Newgrange, the neolithic passage grave which pre-dates the pyramids in Egypt. Like those famous landmarks, Newgrange stands as evidence of an ancient knowledge of astronomy and architecture. Other attractions on the tour across the "Royal County" of Meath include the heritage town of Trim, the Hill of Tara, Mellifont Abbey and Monasterboice. The tour also takes in Malahide Castle, north of Dublin, and returns to the city via Dublin Bay.

Wicklow - Glendalough Tour

This breathtaking tour of Wicklow, garden of Ireland, takes in some of the most breathtaking scenery in the country. Starting with the picturesque village of Enniskerry, the tour moves on to the splendid, world-famous Powerscourt Gardens, a fairytale demesne with Italian and Japanese gardens. Glendalough, the valley of the two lakes, is a spectacular glen in the heart of Wicklow. In the 6th Century, St. Kevin founded a monastery here which gave birth to a monastic town famous across Europe as a centre of learning. The tour finishes with a visit to Roundwood, the highest village in Ireland, surrounded with spectacular scenery between Lough Dan in the west and the many lakes of Varty Reservoir in the east.
